Israel weaker than ‘spider web,’ desperately relies on US for security: Hezbollah
Israel’s plea to the United States to return the illegal settlers who fled the occupied territories amid the Gaza war shows that the regime is “weaker than a spider’s web,” says a senior official of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement.
Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, deputy head of Hezbollah’s executive council, made the remarks during the funeral procession for Wissam al-Tawil (Hajj Jawad), a top commander of the resistance group who was assassinated on Monday in an Israeli strike on his car in southern Lebanon.
“If Israel were not weaker than a spider’s house, it would not have appealed to the US and Western countries to return settlers to northern settlements, it would not have asked the UN and world powers to implement Security Council Resolution 1701, and it would not have urged the United States and 20 other states to protect shipping safety in the Red Sea,” he said.
Qaouk also cited recent figures released by Israeli media, saying they indicate that 90 percent of Zionists do not believe in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but rather in Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah who says Israel is “weaker than a spider’s web.”
“Israel has failed and no one believes Netanyahu’s lies anymore,” he stated.
Israel waged the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
However, more than three months into the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its objectives of “destroying Hamas” and finding Israeli captives despite killing 23,210 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 59,167 others.
The Islamic Jihad chief says the assassination of top Hezbollah commander Wissam al-Tawil clearly shows that all forces of the Axis of Resistance are united to liberate the holy city of al-Quds from the Israeli occupation.
Also in his remarks, the Hezbollah official described Tawil as a brave commander who participated in the fight against the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group and trained thousands of fighters wishing to battle Israel.
“With the martyrdom of Wissam al-Tawil, the military of the occupying regime will not be spared from resistance attacks and settlers will not return to the northern settlements. Israel’s defeat will not be compensated for,” he said.
Tensions have increased on the Lebanese border between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters since the beginning of the Gaza war. Hezbollah fighters have targeted Israeli military sites in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians in besieged Gaza.
